Are Multi-Mode SatCOLTs with 4G a possibility for Sprint?

1xRTT is 153kbps max. That is what all of Sprint's cellular voice runs on.

 

Do you know about iDEN? Nextel Direct Connect was usually deployed to Public Safety Officials when something catastrophic happens.

Another point is that if you use VoIP, it only use about 100 Kbps of bandwidth, not much compared to a video chat. How much bandwidth does cellular voice runs on?

 

A lot less than 100 kbps. Most current cellular voice codecs are variable rate, based on a circuit switched max of 9.6 kbps or 14.4 kbps, but the variable rate nature tends to average actual voice data throughput to ~5 kbps.

I would think it would be similar to 1xRTT. I would expect them to start pulling that out of the COWs though.

I believe that Sprint Direct Connect runs on 1900 MHz, and Nextel Direct Connect runs on 800 MHz. I bet that Sprint may start augmenting the iDEN COWs very soon before hurricane season arrives.

Nextel iDEN does not use COWs. It uses antelope.
